Rescue workers search through a car at the site of a Metro-North train derailment in The Bronx on Dec. 1. Four were killed and 63 were injured.

Two hours later, he’d received the heartbreaking news. Posting his dad’s photo on Instagram, Finn wrote, “Words can’t express how much my father meant to me. It’s safe to say he molded me into the man I am today. I love you and I miss you. I can’t believe that you’re gone. This feels like an awful nightmare I can’t wake up from. Rest easy dad. I love you.”

The derailment also killed James Ferrari, 59, of Montrose, Donna Smith, 54, of Newburgh, and Ahn Kisook, 35, of Queens.

Smith, a Fishkill paralegal, lived alone, was very close with her sister, Linda, and was deeply involved in her community, a neighbor said.

“She was a wonderful person, just very good,” said Kathy Cerone, 69, noting that the “very spiritual” Smith was active with the Girl Scouts and sang in her church’s choir.

“It just doesn’t seem possible,” Cerone said.

Smith and her sister boarded the train together for the city, where Linda’s choir was to perform Handel’s “Messiah,’’ a relative told The New York Times.

Kisook — the only one of the four not thrown from the train, according to ABC News — was a registered nurse traveling home from a night shift at an Ossining nursing home.

Friends of Ferrari, who was married with a 20-year-old daughter, said the family was too distraught to speak.
